why does this say Azure?


# Networks

The node template now allows a VM to be provisioned with multiple networks. In the **Networks** field, you can now click **Add Network** to add any networks available to you in vSphere.

I would add that you should add at least one network, as there is not one added by default for the user.

- **Provision Storage:** For an example of how to provision storage in vSphere using Rancher, refer to [this section.]({{<baseurl>}}/rancher/v2.6/en/cluster-admin/volumes-and-storage/examples/vsphere) In order to dynamically provision storage in vSphere, the vSphere provider must be [enabled.]({{<baseurl>}}/rancher/v2.6/en/cluster-provisioning/rke-clusters/cloud-providers/vsphere)

I would emphasize and explicitly mention that you must add the cloud provider (for vsphere, or any other provider for that matter) when creating the rke2 cluster and configure the same credential information (vcenter server, username and password, etc.) for the charts in the addon config section when provisioning the cluster.
